Postgraduate Open Day
Wednesday 25 February 2026, on campus
Thinking about postgraduate study? Our postgraduate open is a chance to find out what studying at master’s or PhD level could look like in practice. You can talk to academic teams, ask questions about funding and applications, and get a feel for whether a course fits with where you’re at.
It’s part of Postgraduate Discovery Month, a month-long programme of on-campus and online events from 2–27 February 2026 designed to help you explore postgraduate study, funding, applications and student life before you decide.
